I do have that mindset - that most good art comes from some turmoil, from someone trying to come to some equilibrium, or come up and get a breath.

The clock never stops, never stops, never waits. We're growing old. It's getting late.

If I'm in a relationship and my girlfriend is sleeping with other people, I don't need to know who it is; I just want to know how she feels about it.

I want people to listen to my lyrics and be okay with themselves. The people who have it the roughest are homosexuals who come out of the closet.

I'm not really a strange person or anything, so if there's music I like, usually there's other people who like it too.

The less I talk in bars, write emails, express myself in an emotionally lewd way outside of my songwriting, the more I have to do it through my music.

White people don't sing together very often, and when they do, it's about the celebrity of the song. The singing at my shows is all about harmony.
